The Full-size Vessels: The six vessels of the ENVOY class, namely Enchanter, Encore, Enforcer, Enigma, Enticer and Envoy were built and completed in 1944 for the Admiralty by Cochrane of Selby. They were used as fleet tugs during World War II and fitted with a 12-pounder deck gun, two Oerlikon guns and two Colt machine guns for defence when on escort or rescue duty. After the war the tugs were sold into commercial service and renamed Englishman, Sintra, Vernicos, Matsas etc.

Model Specifications: Scale 1:48 - Length o.a. 1108 mm (43-1/2”) - Beam 248 mm (9-3/4”) - Displacement approx. 11.5 kg (25 lbs) - Single screw, suitable for steam or electric propulsion.

The Kit: The model is built around five glassfibre mouldings: the hull with external plating detail, superstructure, wheelhouse, engine room and funnel. The kit includes the running gear (rudder, propshaft, brass propeller), over 800 etched brass and white metal fittings with brass stanchions. Also provided are CNC-milled and printed styrene sheets, printed ply deck overlays, moulded styrene ship’s boats, resin-cast Carley floats and an anchor windlass kit. The rod, wire, dowel and other items needed to finish the model are also included. In addition to the two full size plans, a large number of perspective assembly drawings are given to enable the discerning enthusiast to build this model to museum standards. The flag, paints and glues are not provided. Tools and equipment are required to complete.
